The Real Life Monuments Men - They Were Looters Themselves!


The following article is about the real life Monuments Men. It shows that the Americans did their fair share of looting themselves. Although you wouldn't know it from this whitewash of a movie. http://barnesreview.org/pdf/TBR_2014_no6_6-11.pdf Also includes a review of the book The Spoils of World War II:The American Military's Role in Stealing Europe's Treasures by Kenneth D.Alford - www.amazon.com/Spoils-World-War-Militarys-Treasures/dp/1559722371/

Good stuff. Here is a good webpage which documents the destruction of German culture at the end of WW2:

http://www.holocaustianity.com/monuments.html

The US led MFA&A reported that in Germany alone, over 90 percent of the monuments had been hit by Allied bombings, and 60 percent had been destroyed.


Allied directives issued in 1945, as part of the “re-education” process, demanded the destruction all German monuments and museums deemed “patriotic, nationalistic or idealizing German culture.”


Not content to destroy only monuments, old streets with names such as “Kaiser Wilhelm Platz” were all renamed under the guidelines of the Psychological Warfare Division of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force who was in charge of re-educating the Germans. In their place, Germany today has several Karl Marx streets and even an Ilya Ehrenburg Street in Rostock commemorating a communist thug who prodded the Red Army to rape and kill German civilians.


Example of the stupidity:

MMagdeburg had a beautiful monument to Prussian Queen Luise, the most beloved queen in German history, who was a symbolic figure for the release of Germany from Napoleon’s tyranny. This old monument survived the monument desecration of the post-war era until 1963 when a communist professor insisted that the statue be razed for “ideological reasons.”

World War 2 has been over for 70 years and yet some people think everyone should still go along with the official propaganda and call anyone with a dissenting opinion a "nazi". You're pathetic!
In fact the Americans stole not only artwork but also looted patents which in the long run were worth billions - www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/patents.html

"...yet some people think everyone should still go along with the official propaganda and call anyone with a dissenting opinion a "nazi".

It's hard to know if you're a "nazi", but you certainly seem anti-semitic. You're posting links to sites proclaiming "JEWISH PROPAGANDA MOVIE ALERT!" and material from another site named after Harry Elmer Barnes, a noted anti-Semite and Holocaust denial. In other words, it's impossible to take the crap you post seriously.

I think Elmer Fudd would had been a better historical source than this Barnes guy.

It's that man again!!
